Fuel consumption
 
My son in law has bought a 2005 v70 d5 and is quite heavy on fuel. its a geartronic with D5244T engine 170k miles on the clock my xc70 2006 geartronic, D5244T engine with more miles on it, both 163bhp and serviced history good. dean drives fairly steady I go vroom but get more mpg. cant get my vida dice to work at the mo so any ideas on his poor mpg apart from binding brakes.

Oh forgot did a 4.2 ltr sump dump on deans v70 today, very dirty.
